Too bad her dreams weren't much better.

Delaney saw an assembly of the minor gods, all gathered around a table. She recognized a few; Nike, Nemesis, Eris, and several others, and at the head of the table sat Phobos, Deimos, and her favorite ice princess Khione.

"We need to attack Camp Half-Blood again." Khione said, slamming her fist on the table.

"If I remember correctly, Khione," Said Phobos, "Two demigods beat you. I didn't think you'd be so eager to get defeated again."

Khione scowled. "It was the boy, Leo Valdez, and his fire, and it won't happen again. Next time, I'll be ready."

"No." Deimos spoke. "We need time to build our army. We will start with Olympus, then once it's destroyed, we will attack both camps simultaneously."

Phobos grinned. "I agree with my brother, start big."

Nike nodded. "The way to victory is this way." She announced.

Then, Delaney's dream changed.

She was in a large room, with twelve thrones that shone with power. The Olympians' throne room, she guessed. She stared as the Olympians took their seats, and she noticed Hestia sitting near the hearth, adding pieces of tinder every now and then.

"We have gathered to discuss the matter of the rebel minor gods." Zeus said, starting the meeting. "They have… well, gotten out of control."

The gods muttered in agreement.

"We should pulverize them and take their remains as spoils of war!" Ares exclaimed.

Athena shook her head. "That would be unwise. This is why you need a strategic goddess."

Artemis, Hera, and Demeter nodded in agreement.

"I think we should focus on getting the other gods on our side; the ones who haven't turned yet." Athena said.

Artemis nodded. "Hecate, Hypnos, Enyo, Bellona, Persephone, Iris, and surprisingly Hades, are on our side at the moment."

Poseidon cleared his throat. "My daughter, Kymopoleia, may agree to help, just promise her some action figures and pirates to terrorize or something."

Zeus nodded. Then he frowned. "Kym who?" He asked, just as Delaney woke up.

She saw Annabeth shaking her, and when she saw that Delaney had woken, she sighed with relief. "What's wrong?" Delaney asked.

"You were smoking." Annabeth said. "I thought you were going to burst into flames for a moment, until you woke up."

"You interrupted something very important!" She yelled at Annabeth.

Annabeth looked shocked. "You would have died!"

"So what?! I was in the middle of a very important meeting!"

Annabeth frowned. "What meeting?"

"The emergency meeting of the gods." Delaney replied. "They were discussing the threat of the minor gods. Athena suggested going to all the minor gods who haven't turned yet and convince them to side with them, and the minor gods had the same idea."

Annabeth sighed. "The gods are taking this threat seriously. That's not good."

"And," Delaney added. "We need to summon and emergency meeting of our own."

About a half hour later, all the camp counselors, were pacing the rec room, including Thalia, Reyna, and Chiron, (Mr. D was absent, at the gods' meeting.)

Delaney took a deep breath. She told them about the assembly of the minor gods, telling them how they planned to gain numbers, then attack Olympus, and then attack the two camps simultaneously. She then told them about how the Olympians planned to get all the minor gods to join them, and how Hecate, Hypnos, Enyo, Persephone, Bellona, Iris, and Hades sided with them already.

Chiron took in all of this, and said, "We need to send a quest."

A chill settled over Delaney. "No... Not me." She whispered, pleadingly to her father.

Chiron glanced at Delaney, then continued, "We already have the prophecy, which everyone is already informed of. We will send one Roman, along with four of ours, as the prophecy says."

Reyna nodded. "It's too urgent to send someone from Camp Jupiter, and as I'm already here, I might as well go."

Chiron nodded. "We have one Roman, and as for the four Greeks…"

Thalia stood up. "I'll go." She said unexpectedly. "I count as Greek, although I may be a hunter of Artemis. I need to make sure the boys on this quest won't interfere."

Percy locked arms with Annabeth. "We'll go as well." He said. "We might as well have one more heroic quest."

Annabeth nodded. "And as the fourth…."

Nico stood. "I'll go."

Percy stared at him. "I thought I wasn't your type." He teased, as Nico rolled his eyes.

"Well then." Chiron said. "We have a quest."

Delaney sighed with relief.

Reyna, Thalia, Percy, Nico, and Annabeth stood. "We will prepare our things now." Reyna said.

"And I must find a temporary lieutenant for the Hunters." Thalia added.

Chiron nodded. "As I would expect." He said, as he called the meeting to a close.

Delaney went to her cabin and collected her things, preparing to return to Camp Jupiter, to tell them of Reyna's quest. She shoved her lances into the back of her jeans, stuffed Ambrosia and Nectar into her backpack, and some of her personal things, and she headed towards the camp boundaries.

When she arrived there, she saw a Camp Half-Blood van, ready to take her back to Camp Jupiter. She slid open the door, and walked inside.

As the van rattled, Delaney couldn't help thinking about how the quest was going. No. She scolded herself silently. You've seen how dangerous the quests can be, and the glory isn't worth it. It's much better just to be the best fighter, to defend Camp Jupiter, and Camp Half-Blood.
